Community Building & Promotion • Lead virtual “member tours” for prospective clients, showcasing the breadth of our online class offering, explaining membership benefits, and converting interest into active participation. • Coordinate with marketing to promote upcoming class series, seasonal challenges, and special events through social media posts, email newsletters, and in‑app push notifications. • Participate in company‑wide fitness competitions, webinars, and team‑building activities that reinforce camaraderie among remote trainers.
